Assignment For Week:
It is important for anyone that is a target of bullying or witnessing bullying in the schools to speak up. For children who might be witnessing aggressive behaviors, foul language, or abusive types of behavior encourage them to speak up to a trusted adult or to the parent. Parents, role play with your smaller children by having them “play school” with you. They can play the teacher. Really observe and listen to what they are saying. If there is any indication that there might be things going on that you, as a parent, need to speak up about and stop it.
Parents are always encouraged to get involved in your child’s school PTA and talk about important issues that address bullying in any form that occurs in the school.
